Pacific Slope have to grapple with
is the immigration Of Chlrese. It
would be waste Of time to attempt
to add one syllable to that which
has already been published concern
ing this evil. Suffice it to say that
the people of this Territory and Of
the coast generally are United IN
their demands, and will not rest un.
til the question has been settled to
the best interest of the white race.
The people are IN the right, and
their course just. notwithstanding
the assertions Of many so>called NOR
alists in the Congressional delega-
tions from some Of the far Eastern
States.
With all candid people it IS ar
acknowledge fact that the China
man is directly antasonistlc to the
white race, and that the best interest
OF laboring men cannot be subseIyed
by his presence.
The Chinese, contract and pau~
per labor, and the constant inpour,
ing of communistlc elements from
abroad, and the introduction by
them of infamous and d;abolical
methods to accomplish their ends,
are the problems that must lie solved
and it is to be hoped that the solution
will materially assist the struggling
mass es in their great battle for life
IN CONCLUSION.

as the "Gem Of the Mountains.

paHpER IMMIGRANrs.

Secretary Of State, Bayard, has
taken a firm stand, IN regard TO the
landing on the shores Of the United
States European panpers. lie has
ordered that hereafter, when they
arrive in port, they shall not be al
lowed to land, but shall be returned
to the country from which they
emigrated. This is right. We have
no room here in this American ter
ntory for a lOw-down, shiftless,
lazy, dirty set of paupers. They
tramp about, beg, pllfer, burn, and
steal. They do nothing to develop
the industries and resources Of the
country; but they fill our almshouses
and asYlums, and draw heavily
upon other Institutions that are sup
ported by taxation. When they
work, they work for nothing. and
thereby crowd out American labor
g S. They pay no taxes, and yet they
rush their nasty brats into our pub
lie schools. They get a little taste
OF good things, and then conclude
that the lands of the country should
he divided among all citizens, and
that they should share equally with
the American who has toiled and
accumulated lauds. They get to be-
lieve that all ma kind ought to be
on a level, and that FIRE an sword,
dynamite and bombs should be used
to bring about such results if neces
sary.
Other governments, even Euro~
pean, are waking up to the baneful
presence Of such a worthless and dan
gerous population. Germany has
expelled the Poles from her border
Russia is expelling both Poles and
Germans of this cast from her possess
sions. These strike us as proper steps
Let us have people who are able
bodied, self supporting, and that

A Father and Mother That Ought
to be Mobhed.

A white family, consisting of man,
wife and eight children, going by
the name of Strader, moved here a
few weeks ago, ostcnsibly from
Mckenzie, but really, we UNDER
stand, from Paris, where the
husband, it is said, has
been in jml six months
After being here a week or two, the
fact developed that the inhuman pa
rents were making merchandise of
the virtue of their female children
0ne or two of whom were nearly
gro wn, while others were mere chill
dren. We hear that two IN arried
men were seen and heard in their
dwelling. If this be so, they ought
to be fearfully punished. The de-
PRAYED mother, when warned by
Marshal Bryant to leave town, gave
an excuse for her conduct that her
husband would not live ona farm,
and that she was driven to this
course Of living by hunger and max
edness. The children should be
taken in charge by the authorities
and bound out to good people

Mr.. }, L. Greely, Weld County,
Colorado, in renewing his subscrip
ton for the Bulletin writes as fol-
lows: ut is refreshing to occasion
ally road paper that has clear
ring of true Democracy, as is found
in the Bulletin, which maintains
the principle Of non~interference of
the government with the States for
schools, or other purposes except SO
far as the constitution clearly wars
rants, and for tariff for revenue
only; Many Democrats have gone
over to the enemy on these two false
and seductive theories all along the
line, but It is better to maintain
the true principles, although we
may be left in a minority rather
than go over to the enemies camp
as many Of the 50 called Democra-
tic papers have done"

A CRAZY BRIDGE JUMPER

VIM. Mahoney, young man en-
ployed in glove factory, at Gin :
cinnati, Ohio, performed a daring
t,at by leaping from the suspel SION
bridge at that place last week. The
bridge Is about 10 feet above the
water at this season of the year. He
believed the feat could be safely
performed, while some of his friends
doubted it. And to satisfy himself
and convince his friends, he made
the wild leap. He made the jump
at night without Witnesses or any
one to rescue him in case he should
be seriously injured. He mounted
the railing, POISED himself in the air,
leaped, and went whirlIng down
head foremost. He struck the water
on his head, sank, and rose swim
ming. He struck out for the Ken
lucky side, but was picked up by
some boatmen who happened to be
near and witnessed the leap. He
was not hurt seriously, but complain
ed of pain in his back, and was
taken to the hospital: If some men
would undergo as much hard labor
in the necessary avocations of life
as they do to create a sensation, paus
peri m, trampism, and hard times
would disappear from the land.

The National Association of Lip
uor Dealers held rousing meeting
in Chicago last week. j. NJ. Ath-
erton, of Louisville, presided. In
addition to the local m embers pres
ent a Texas delegation was in atten-
dance. Whether they discussed the
local fight in Chicago is not known;
the gentlemen say they did not.
They say they had enough to do in
pre- parii g for the prohibition fight
in Texas. The prohibition amend
ment in Texas will be voted upon
August 4tb, aud the fight is red-hot.
One OF the wholesale men says that
Is what the 800 assessment is for IN
Chicsgo-to fight Prohibition in rex~
as. Mr.. Atherton, the president,
admits 1t is a Lard battle, but thinks
the liquor men wall win. The pro-
hibition amendment in Tennessee
comes to a vote September 9Th,
add it must be met. That is not all.
West Virginia, Oregon, Dakota,
Wyoming Territory, to say nothing
of Michigan and Missouri, arc caus-
ing the liquor men trouble. So the
Nauoual Association didn't go to
Chicago 10 help the Chicago dealers,
but rather to be helped. An asses.
ment Of ten cents per barrel was
made on old rye and bourbon, and
requests for funds made to the whole
salers. Every distiller, does his
level best, one in Cincinnati gave
$4,000.

A DEMOCRAT ON THE W ARPATH
Col. Pat Donan Excoriates the C,eve
land Administration.
He gets off lively. but goes wrong

He gets off lively. but goes wrong
on some things. He says:
In spite of all the gush and twad1
die and molasses-and-water slop of
toadying organs and ofice-hanker-
ing scribblers, this administration
strikes me as q dreary, dismal damn
ed failure. 1t came in promising
everything, and it has done next to
nothing, and much Of the little it has
done had far better been LETT un
done. The country has for years
groaned under system of war tax
alton in time Of peace, tina piles up
in the treasury SO, 100000 a month
of re venue excess. An exactiOn so
monstrous would drive almost any
other nation on earth to revolution.
This much-trumpeIed Democratic
reform administration has done nOth-
ing to tighten this intolerable bur-
den. These swelling millions and
millions OF useless and wicked sur
plus must either be boarded in the
treasury as an incentive to political
burglary, or spent in knocking the
bottom out of the best financial sYs-
tenn en- the globe by buying up the
bonds on which it Is based, and that
means an indefinite contraction of
the currency and ultimate disaster
to every business interest. This
vastly bepufed administration has
done nothing to remedy this evil
and dangerous condition of affairs.
1t has done nothing toward amend
ing the inequalities and iniquities Of
the tariff, which its whole party had
denounced for years; it has done.
nothing to curb the importation of
millions of foreign Outcasts, the paul.
pers and criminals of all creation.
1t has done nothing to promote the
purity of the ballot box; it has done
nothing to restore American COM
merce and shipping to their once
proud pre-eminence on the seas; it
done nothing to foster trade relations
with our American neighbor nations.
Some things, admit, it has done
1t has married two or three new
wives; 1t has Laptized one Standard
oil baby with as much fummery
and flunkeyism as if it had been a
Spanish lnfanta with 100 grandta-
theirs, or a royal Russian car cup
with a name as long as a fishing
pole; it has brought back poodles
into fashion, and inaugurated more
nauseating tricks Of servile fawning
and soft squashY panegyric than any
other outfit that ever wallowed in
the White House; 1t has demoralized
the finest postal service under the
sun by appointing tens of thousands
of ignorant and incompetent substi-
tutes for trained officials; it has
sent horde Of ancient ana uncouth
fossils of the lcbthyosaurian period
III politics to represent our mighty
new world republic at foreign courts,
and render US laughing stock to
half the world. And it has passed
and signed thaC masterpiece Of maiig
nant jackasserY, the Inter State
Commerce destruction bill, which
if enforced, will speedily drive the
whole country into bankruptcy.
